This Indian Village Follows The Most Beautiful Custom When A Girl Is Born

In most Indian villages it was considered a burden if a baby girl was born to a family. A lot of these girls did not receive proper education and were married before the age of 18.

The Indian village Piplantri, however, has a special and incredibly beautiful tradition when a girl is born: Instead of consuming unnecessary items that are considered “cute” in our Western society, these people plant 111 trees in honor of the birth of the child.

Former village leader Shyam Sundar started this amazing custom in order to honor his daughter who passed away at a young age.
